I find that one problem people (especially on "Hacker" "News") have in

understanding Gemini is that they don't have any experience of Gopher,

only of the WWW. A lot of things about Gemini make more sense when you

consider them as things addressing the pain points in Gopher, rather

than problems with the WWW.

I used to think that, but now I think it's mostly to help people who

use TUIs and text have an exclusive club for themselves. Bonus points

if you hate accessibility by calling it useless since you have no

accessibility issues yourself.

(especially on "Hacker" "News")

The web is pretty good at Gemini evangelism though. Places that Real

Hackers (TM) like to shit on are full of people telling me that

they're on Gemini.
